We have a neighbor

I was washing the boat and I noticed something that was a light color moving in the water. It was pretty big and I wasn’t sure of what it was. Then the snout came out of the water, it was drinking the fresh water runoff from the boat scupper.

According to the other residents it is one of three manatees that come around. There are two adults and a young one (about 1/2 the size of the adults).

They have figured out what boat washing sounds like and come over to drink the fresh water.
